Russian forces are continuing their offensive operations, focusing pressure on the city of Kostiantynivka as part of a broader assault along what is being described as a “fortress belt.” This comes as the Ukraine Recovery Conference concluded in Gdańsk, Poland. The conference resulted in over €10 billion in pledges from international partners to support Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts. A new, central reconstruction fund was also established to manage and distribute the aid. While fighting intensifies in the east, the international community demonstrates ongoing financial commitment to Ukraine’s long-term recovery. The pledges signal continued support for Ukraine as it navigates both immediate defense needs and future rebuilding. The focus now shifts to the implementation of these financial commitments and their impact on the ground.
